Nice case for the price

We needed a computer at work for our phone system. Our main requirement was that the computer was rack mountable. We were able to put everything we needed into this case and worked out very well. For the price it was designed better than what I was expecting.

Nice case, but be warned:

This is a very well-built case. It has loads of room for a 2U case, and it's solid and easy to configure.
Here's the warning part: The expansion bays are horizontal, which means you need a riser card in order to use any of the slots on your motherboard. And guess what? The case doesn't come with such a thing, you have to source it yourself. I purchased a PCI-e graphics card, but it's very short (puts the card in the lowest bay), which means it doesn't work because then the card is squished down on the PCI slots and nothing fits. So now I have to source a taller riser. Short story is, if you don't plan to add cards to your build, this case is awesome. Otherwise, make sure you have everything you need before you start the project!
